There is little doubt that the biggest takeaway from Apple's WWDC announcement of iOS 5, was its new notification system.
Analysts are reporting that Apple’s iPhone will be coming to another American wireless carrier this year - Sprint-Nextel - in Christmas.
According to a report, Apple has ordered 5 million touch sensors for iPad 2's, which suggests that 5 million iPad 2 devices will be shipped this month. This is yet another indicator that Apple's second-generation device is continuing its healthy adoption.
Just when we thought constant attacks targeting tech and financial companies were over, a hacking group that calls itself AntiSec, mostly comprised of Anonymous and Lulz Security members, allegedly broke into Apple's servers and stole some 26 administrative usernames and hashed passwords and posted them publicly.
According to an anonymous source that calls itself "Mr. T", the next iPhone will have an LED indicator next to the camera, which would presumably flash whenever notifications pops up, such as whenever the user receives a new text message or, more likely, whenever any App invokes the notification service that's built into iOS.
iPhone 5 concepts are a dime-a-dozen commodity these days. With only months to go before its rumored announcement, everyone and their mother seems to be trying their hand at a next-generation iPhone concept. Most fall flat on their face, but some of them emerge from the crowded pile and look good enough for us to believe that, well, this just should be it. One such concept was created by NAK Studios today and it looks stunning.
Taiwan-based suppliers are said to be readying parts for next-generation iOS devices, namely the iPhone 5 and the next-generation iPad. According to this source, we should see both devices in September or October, although it's doubtful that we'll see an iPad 3 this year. Yet, the next iPad might sport a higher-resolution screen, according to this report.
If you've been a regular reader of this site, you're probably aware of GEVEY SIM, a custom SIM card used to permanently unlock iPhones. We recently featured a tutorial on how to unlock iOS 5 Beta 1 using this method, yet Apple had reportedly made this method impossible in Beta 2. It turns out that an unlock is still possible using a slightly different method.
Just over two months ahead of an Apple Music Event, where Apple is expected to announce a future iPhone, the rumor mill has been on fire with alleged leaks and speculation from analysts (mostly the latter). An analyst is now alleging that Apple might continue to sell the already 2-year-old iPhone 3GS for free with a contract.
Remember the original iPhone and the first version of iOS? Both look laughable at this point, but they were very real just 4 years ago. Back on June 29 2007, many geeks stood in lines outside Apple Stores to grab the first successful multi-touch smartphone. Since then, the device has come a long way. That's why our friends at Mashable have created this inforgraphic with the most important milestones in the iPhone's history, as well as some fun facts.
